    Zeke,.true inspiration. A lotta young kids are lost and fighting demons by loosing their mom or dad and it heads them straight into a wall of drugs and alcohol. Me personally thought I had life figured out at 21 having rad girlfriends but breaking all their hearts to now being sober for 14 years and raising three kids of my own solo. Their mom hasn't called or seen em in 8 years and 5 months ago my dad who didn't speak to me for 8 years took his own life. I live in Virginia Beach and I haven't really took surfing serious but u inspire me to go get a 5-4 Buel of course 🤙 and start hitting these zero crowded zones. #teamsoberlife

    It was interesting getting some insight into your past... I'd be interested in hearing that whole story, about the legal issues.
    I guess I've been missing out a bit, on the deep La Jolla scene, being up in Venice for the past couple of decades. I would have liked to have been there, to watch you and Judd the 4th coming up. It was cool to meet you IRL at the WSC contest, recently... That's where you could probably get scored on a board transfer.
    La Jolla is going to miss having a legendary guardian like George Force around, keeping order, out at Lobster Lounge.

      Over here in NJ, county is far worse than prison. If you go to jail, you want a sentence that’s more than 365, and pray they get you into a state prison as fast as possible. Nothing worse than being in Camden county, or Atlantic county with a bunch of dudes kicking fentanyl. Don’t drink and drive, and don’t do powders or pills friends.

    I started watching your videos over a year ago when I was living in San Diego. Funny enough I got to your videos by way of Ben Gravy videos. Then I saw you were a SD Local I thought that was awesome. Been watching you ever since. Sadly 6 months ago we ended up moving out of San Diego, the Padres traded my step son to another team. A few weeks ago I was showing my step son your videos from Blacks on a big swell. He was like, "fuck I met that guy, he is pretty sick". So Clev says Hi. Sidenote, I broke one of my boards at Blacks. That place can be unreal.
    I've been surfing skating and snowboarding off and on most of my life. Also a little bit of on road and off road motorcycles and even bicycles. I'm not great at any of them. But I have fun and refuse to grow old. I'm 52 years old, and like you I have the injury list to prove it. Living in the mountains of North Carolina now. I can still go snowboarding here, but I will miss Big Bear. No more surfing for a while. I will always look back at my surfing in SD as a huge highlight. I got in with 4 other surfers out there about my age and we had a fun little crew that surfed almost everyday. I wish i had the chance to meet you. Tell you that your inspiring people young and old. Even if I'm living far away now. Keep it up. Everyone has a story. Thanks for sharing yours.

    I too, had a similar experience, after the mags shut down, I was left out to dry, money soon ran out , I had no choice but to turn to a life of crime and drugs to cope....Then one day at the crack of dawn, after fighting off the shadow people all night, I decided to check the surf.
    Low and behold, there was the man that ruined my life, Matt Warshaw. In a rage, I strapped him to the roof of my V dub, and drove straight to northern Nevada. I had heard of this place called burning man (very deceptive title) , I pulled in and asked where the body burning pit was...Next thing I know I'm fighting off 4 Boy Georges and some hairy pitted pro noun'ers.
    In the end, I got 15 years , but only served 20 for good behavior.
    So yeah, crime don't pay.....
